'Or exefer nitessAttoomfre
By JACK RIDDELL
MPP Huron-Middlesex
Farmers have been asking
about the Stabilization Plan for
corn and as indicated in a
previous column there definitely
will be a corn plan but all the
details had not been worked out
until just recently with the
Federal Government.
I am pleased to announce that
the Federal Government has
agreed to accept farm to farm
sales but to be eligible for the
stabilization program the corn
must be weighed, and
documented sales of corn moving
off farms in Ontario, with sales
slips and weigh slips with sellers'
and buyers' signatures must be
provided, for the Farm Income
Stabilization Commission,
The corn does not necessarily
have to be weighed at an elevator
scale but if the scale is suitable
from the standpoint of both the
seller and the purchaser and a
weigh ticket is made out this will
be acceptance for claim pur-
poses. The plan will cover sales of
shelled corn, corn on the cob and
high moisture corn calculated to
a maximum 15.5 per cent
moisture and 56 lbs or the metric
equivalent per bushel.
The minimum requirement is
10 metric tons and the maximum "
is 1,000 metric tons. The plan will
cover sales between September
1st, 1977 and August 31st, 1978.
Each participant must obtain,
complete and file an application
form with the Commission Office,
postmarked not later than
January 16th, 1978. Application
forms will be available at the
County Ministry of Agriculture
and Food Offices and probably at
all elevators.
No cash enrollment fees are
payable at the time of enrollment
for 1977. The amount of fee will be
calculated and deducted from any
payment to the producer using
the following formula-
One third participant con-
tribution and two-thirds govern-
ment.
The corn stabilization plan
stabilizes the price of corn bet-
ween 90 per cent and 95 per cent
of the immediate past 5 year
average market price plus an
allowance for changes in cash
cost of production. The Federal
Corn Stabilization plan supports
producers up to the 90 per cent.
When the cost of production is
below the stabilization level
based on market price and
changes in cash cost, the cost of
production becomes the
stabilization price. If this plan
had been in effect in 1976, then
payment to producers would
have been $2.18 from the Federal
Plan, 11 cents from the
Provincial Plan amounting to
$2.29.
Payment if appropriate will be
made as soon as possible after
August 31st, 1978. Proof of sales,
dated and completed must be
submitted by each producer to
the Commission. Participants
who have purchased corn or corn
equivalents must also report
these transactions.
The commission will then
calculate the eligible product by
using the appropriate moisture
conversion factors and by sub-
stracting any purchase of corn
grains or prepared feeds con-
verted to corn equivalents. This
plan covers net sales only and
does not cover corn sold by corn
dealers.
I trust farmers are aware that
there will be a deficiency payment
to corn producers of 6 cents a
bushel on grain corn crop sold
between September 1st, 1976 and
August 31st, 1977, The payment is
based on dry shelled corn, basis
15.5 per cent mositure. Sales of
cob corn at high moisture levels
will be converted to the dry
shelled basis.
The support level for the 1976
corn crop under the Agricultural
Stabilization Act was announced
in April at $2.18 per bushel. The
national weighted average price
during the crop year was $2.12
per bushel. The difference bet-
ween the support price and the
average market price is the
amount of the stabilization
payment.
Corn producers should apply to
the Agricultural Stabilization
Board in Ottawa for their
stabilization payment. Claim
forms will be available from
Federal and Provincial District
Agricultural Offices by about mid
October.
Stabilization payments will be
made on all legitimate sales of
grain corn through the normal
commercial system such as sales
to elevators, feed mills, grain
dealers and commercial end
users, such as starch companies,
distillers, feedlots and other
livestock and poultry feeding
operations. Sales of seed corn and
silage are not eligible for support.
Producers must submit
satisfactory documentation of
their corn sales, showing the
name of the buyer and seller,
date of sale, date and location of
delivery, quantity sold, moisture
content and price. In determining
the date of sale the Stabilization
Board will consider both the date
of delivery and when title to the
grain actually changed hands.
Individual producers may
claim stabilization payment on
up to 39,000 bushel of corn sales
with the first 400 bushel being

This year the farmers will

the application form, while next

One on a tonne basis.
I think farmers should also be
aware of relatively new Federal
legislation known as the Advance
payments for crops act. This aet
is aimed at evening out
marketings over the storage life
of a crop and giving farmers the
chance to sell part of their crop
later in the season when prices
are usually higher than at -har-
vest time.
The legislation is administered
by Agriculture Canada's Grains
and Special Crops Division.
Under the Act producer groups
can apply for loans in order to
make advance payments to
producers who store their crop at
harvest time and sell it at a later
date. To be eligible to receive the
guaranteed loans, producer
groups must represent a sizable
part of the production of a crop in
a specified area. They must also
have financial and staff
capability to administer advance
payments and be able to show
that such payments will improve
orderly marketing of the crop,
Storable crops such as grains,
beans, free fruits, cole and root
crops, honey and maple syrup
are covered by the Act,
In addition to standing behind
the loans, the Federal Govern-
ment pays the interest on them.
This allows farmers to get in-
terest free cash advances on
produce they are putting into
storage. These advances will help
farmers meet their production
cost in the post harvest period
without having to sell most of
their crop at that time.
HARVEST TIME IN THE APPLE ORCHARD — Eighteen years ago
Harry Hartleib planted a half-acre in Dashwood with dwarf apple
trees so that he would have something to do when he retired from Lon-
don's Somerville Industries. The orchard has been keeping him so busy
since retirement that he says he sometimes thinks of going back to work
for a rest. Harry, who grew up in Dashwood, is shown here with some
of the fruits of his labour, „ • ^ rv.,• Staff'photo"
